The blog posts below are taken from my grandmother's diaries. Althea Green Smith Crook was lovingly referred to as Nanny to her immediate family ~ thus her diaries are called Nanny's Diaries.

Nanny wrote in her diaries when she remembered to - mostly in the evening. There will be some years in which she didn't keep diaries and there will also be some days/weeks in her yearly diaries in which she skipped or forgot to write in them. For the most part, these are her words - written as she wrote them. There will be typos, forgotten punctuation, and other grammatical errors - but I am rewriting these as my Nanny originally wrote them.

As with all old handwriting, there are some entries that I can't quite make out - and these entries will be followed with a (?) to signify that this may or may not be correct or I can't figure out what she is trying to write.

Thank you Nanny for leaving us 50 years worth of memories! We miss you!

December 6 - 7, 1991 Christmas Party at Ridge House

 

Friday, December 6, 1991 plowed snow

 

Snowing when we got up. We did a big washing and changed the beds. Zac done all the cleaning, dusting etc. It looks very nice. He does a good job. Tom came and plowed the snow. Jason did the shoveling. It cleared off and a very nice sunny day.

A Christmas party at the Ridge House. It has been snowing, but tonight a very nice Christmas party. Many guests. A very nice array of snacks, tonics etc. Everyone had a nice time. I enjoyed it. Brogan was happy. I got my papers all read today. I did the ironing. David down for coffee.
